The friendly lobby is bright and colorful, with a high ceiling and spacious entryway. Guests checking in will find the large reception desk in the back left corner, next to a 24-hour market pantry with toiletries and snacks for sale. To the right is the small on-site restaurant, and fruit-infused water, cookies, and coffee are available. There’s plenty of seating and tables, and a group meeting area with a beautiful oak table and hot-pink chairs is separated from the main lobby by a fireplace. A doorway also leads out to a front outdoor patio, with tables and chairs as well as a large stone fountain.
Location
On a highway intersection, close to town and falls
While the hotel is right next to an unattractive series of highways and busy roads, the location itself is very convenient to different parts of the region. The town center of beautiful Niagara-on-the-Lake, as well as the waterfalls and tourist area of Niagara Falls, are each a 10-to-15-minute drive from the hotel. There are several restaurants nearby, and guests are a short drive from the Royal Niagara Golf Club, The Outlet Collection at Niagara shopping outlets, and several local wineries.
